Dragonborn are very rare on Earth. Most can be found in Asia, due to the cultures based there and their outlook on Dragons. Most times in the rest of the world they are killed off because many other cultures view them as dangerous. They are amongst the largest of the humanoids, the average being 6 ft or taller and weighing 250 lb or more. They are able to walk 3 hours after hatching, and has a walking speed of 30. They are usually fully mature by 15 years and live an average of 80. Also, they have a tendency of extremes of alignment, either being purely good, or purely evil. Each Dragonborn has a Draconic Ancestry taking after a specific type of dragon, with a breath weapon attack & resistance to the same damage type. These are as follows:

  • Black, Acid, 5 by 30 ft line (Dex. save)
  • Blue, Lightening, 5 by 30 ft line (Dex. save)
  • Brass, Fire, 5 by 30 ft line (Dex. save)
  • Bronze, Lightening, 5 by 30 ft line (Dex. save)
  • Copper, Acid, 5 by 30 ft line (Dex. save)
  • Gold, Fire, 15 ft cone (Dex. save)
  • Green, Poison, 15 ft cone (Dex. save)
  • Red, Fire, 15 ft cone (Dex. save)
  • Silver, Cold, 15 ft cone (Dex. save)
  • White, Cold, 15 ft cone (Dex. save)
With the Breath Weapon, the Dragonborn can use an action to exhale destructive energy. Its Dracon Ancestry determines the breath attack. Enemy creatures in the area of it must make a saving throw. The DC of this saving throw equals 8 + Constitution modifier + proficiency bonus. A failed save results in 2d6 damage, and if successful takes half damage. The damage amount increases to 3d6 at 6th level, 4d6 at 11th level, and 5d6 at 16th level. It cannot be used again until after a short or long rest. As mentioned, the Dragonborn has Damage Resistance against any attacks made using the damage type of their Draconic Ancestry.
